Yet another shambolic pointless decision by this government
Should have happened weeks ago and why do we need 10 days to phase it in
ffs | | | |

So after months of dithering someone has finally made a decision about wearing face masks. It is clearly very important that we wear them in shops (not pubs?). So much so that we can carry on not wearing them for another 11 days. Another shambolic decision in a very, very long line of shambolic and late decisions. This lot went beyond incompetence some time ago. Is anyone actually listening to them any more? Only the other day Johnson and Gove were contradicting each other again. Bunch of bloody clowns the lot of them.
Just read that shop workers won’t have to wear masks!! What a farce. [Post edited 14 Jul 2020 9:39]

Rather than moan at the government why not try to look at some of the reasons why they are phasing it in.
Firstly if they had just announced it and said it goes into virtually immediate affect , there would have been a rush of people buying face masks and within days half the population would own all the face masks which would now be possible to obtain and the other half would have no face masks and be unable to go to the shops.
Secondly the fact they haven't put it into immediate affect could mean they see it as an extra prevention not essential.
Thirdly the number of people using the pubs is minimal compared to the number who have to go shopping.
Fourthly some say it is dithering, but what actual medical evidence do you base that on ? the Government has followed the medical advice virtually to the letter, so perhaps it is not dithering but planning.
I have grown sick of the so called "experts" on social media who know so much more than the government or for that matter anyone else.
The truth is that no one knows whether right or wrong decisions have been made because the medical experts are still unsure of how the disease is transmitted and the cure for it, there has not been years of research into this, it started only 6 months ago, it is trial and error in everything, it is a disease that seems to transmit and grow differently in different countries, different part of those countries and different sections of the population.
No one truly know what the right or wrong things to do are.
I a no lover of the Government, but I do know they have followed the medical advice and whoever was in Governement would be receiving the same advice from the same people and doing the same things.
I also know that if Labour were in power that they would not be getting slaughtered by the Tories for doing exactly this and that is the saddest thing about this, we are not united as a country in beating it, it is a political football |  |

Really?
How long has the world known that wearing masks is a better choice than not?
How badly has this whole pandemic been mismanaged and reactive by this government yet you try and defend them?
Track & trace, testing, masks, care homes failure after failure
Next you will be saying Trump has got it all right too | | | |

Hang on - let's go by the advice that your beloved WHO give regarding face masks. After all, they're the world authority.
Uuuummm... errrrmm... nope, we don't need them they said. There's not enough evidence that the general public will benefit from wearing one.
Oh, hang on. Yes - yes we should... nope... uuummm... damn... oh yes... no... maybe... FFS.
YES!!! The WHO now say yes, we should now all wear one.
Thank God that's all clear then... for now. |  |

Yes really.
1 The truth is that the World doesn't know how much wearing masks stops the disease or doesn't stop it, no one does, everyone is stabbing in the dark
2. No one knows how badly the government had managed the situation because there is nothing to actually compare it with. We do not know whether we would have lost only 10,000 lives or actually 60,000 if we had done it differently as there is no blanket answer, t seems to attack everyone differently
3. I'm not defending them, I am just pointing out that they have followed the medical advice.
4. If you want to mention care homes then perhaps we should consider that these are all privately run, they charge around £4,000 per month for the minimal level of care and they employ staff on minimum wages, yet it is a government failure, not that of a rich owner to actually impose the advice given.
5.If you want to bring politics on to this board do so in an adult way which debates the full situation instead of just the headlines and involving veiled abuse
6. I have never said a good word about Donald Trump, so thank you for justifying number 5 above with such a childish and schoolboyish remark | |

Re the whole mask wearing debate, I take my lead from that Dr Hillary fella on morning TV who has been a voice of sanity throughout giving strong criticism but also praise when due.
His take is that masks have only very limited effect but are primarily a courtesy by the wearer to prevent their breath and snot particles spreading like an exploding viral grenade if they sneeze. Conversely, they are virtually useless at preventing the ingress of the virus. | |

I don’t think that you necessarily have to buy a face mask. You just have to wearing a covering which could be self made or just use a scarf. Does it take 11 days to sort something useable out if it is that important that we wear one?
Most of us spend much longer in pubs than in shops and spend time closer to others if inside. Surely it makes sense to wear one there too? The governments argument is that it isn’t practical in pubs. Surely this isn’t about practicality, it is about safety?
If there is a need to wear a face mask in a shop or a supermarket surely that applies to everyone? A shop worker can be symptomatic just like a shopper can.
The debate about face masks has been going on for months and weeks ago the scientists were telling us that wearing them could prevent the spread of the virus yet it had taken this long to do something about it. Even then Gove has contradicted Johnson.
I am not an Internet expert on viruses but I recognise a complete shambolic response to an emergency situation when I see one. I’m not sure how much more evidence you need Nick, but surely you were given the heads up when our PM boasted about shaking hands with Covid victims only to then get infected himself? | | | |

The number of people who go in pubs is a lot less than those that go in shops, I havent a clue about the average hours spent in pubs or shops etc so there is no point in discussing it we are all only guessing.
Most people going in pubs at the moment are outside not inside
Most shopworkers on the tills are now behind screens, in my experience those stacking shelves etc are wearing masks
In saying Gove and Johnson contradict each other, it shows how no one knows how much evidence there is in wearing masks.
Your last paragraph actually tells me where you are coming from, whoever was in charge would now be shambolic, every government is because they don't know what is right and what is wrong.
Johnson shook hands to try and calm the situation but that has backfired,
You ask how much evidence is needed, but there is no evidence, we don't know what doing things differently would have achieved whether it would have been better or worse | |

When I was in the supermarket the other day, this older couple were doing their shopping, both in masks. Just as I was going past, the old fella lifted the mask, let out a massive slobbery sneeze, wiped his face with the back of his hand, put his mask back on and continued with his shopping.
Lovely. |  |

Pointless decision forced on them by crybaby lefties who will moan at anything.
Much to the disappointment of Soppy and his friends, deaths and cases continue to fall. We are now at a stage in the virus where outbreaks can be contained locally - all masks will do is discourage people from going to the high street and shop online more ( which personally helps me but I feel sorry for those whose businesses will be killed off by this measure ). |  |

Don’t pretend that if Labour had won the last election and had managed it so ineptly that you wouldn’t be all over them like a rash.

This is precisely the issue. Several weeks ago the WHO along with our governments own experts advised that, although a normal face covering probably wouldn’t protect you from the virus, it did have a beneficial effect on stopping the virus spreading. Scotland acted on that information but it has taken Johnson weeks to do the same after previously saying it was down to the common sense of the individual??? So what did that mean? We either need to wear one or we don’t. No point in me wearing one if no one else is. All of a sudden it is so important we wear one that we get fined £100 if we don’t. Unless we are in a pub. Or somewhere other than a shop, a supermarket or on public transport. Not forgetting of course the dozens of people who are working in the supermarkets whilst we are shopping.

Rather than moan at the government why not try to look at some of the reasons why they are phasing it in.
Firstly if they had just announced it and said it goes into virtually immediate affect , there would have been a rush of people buying face masks and within days half the population would own all the face masks which would now be possible to obtain and the other half would have no face masks and be unable to go to the shops.
Secondly the fact they haven't put it into immediate affect could mean they see it as an extra prevention not essential.
Thirdly the number of people using the pubs is minimal compared to the number who have to go shopping.
Fourthly some say it is dithering, but what actual medical evidence do you base that on ? the Government has followed the medical advice virtually to the letter, so perhaps it is not dithering but planning.
I have grown sick of the so called "experts" on social media who know so much more than the government or for that matter anyone else.
The truth is that no one knows whether right or wrong decisions have been made because the medical experts are still unsure of how the disease is transmitted and the cure for it, there has not been years of research into this, it started only 6 months ago, it is trial and error in everything, it is a disease that seems to transmit and grow differently in different countries, different part of those countries and different sections of the population.
No one truly know what the right or wrong things to do are.

Well they seemed to come round to the same conclusions as our people eventually so does it matter what they thought initially when everyone was trying to figure it out?
As for Scotland, perhaps they actually got this right earlier? | | | |
